families finally opening combat positions to women after more than a decade of war in iraq and afghanistan. most here are of one mind that the field of battle is no place for a woman. if i was out there and i sought a woman get killed to in my unit that would totally destroy me. >> but this congresswoman certainly doesn't feel that way, tami duggar tool lost her legs into partial use of her arm flying a blackhawk helicopter is in favor of what defense secretary will announce tomorrow that women who want to fight on the front lines can and should do just that. if women didcannot meet the standards than they should graduate from the program but if they can't then

illinois democrat brad snyder was also part of the hearing today and his office says he was in and out of meetings tonight so we could not connect with him. 21 people killed and 50 others injured in the nightclub disaster today the case went before the state supreme court. >> justices today hearing arguments from the city of chicago and attorneys from the owner of the nightclub in 2011 and appellate court overturned their criminal contempt conviction saying that previous jury found them willfully... it boils down to interpretation in 2002 is circuit judge issued a mandatory order saying they cannot occupy

the second floor the building he operated on south michigan avenue included a restaurant on the first floor and nightclub on the second and a vip area above that. the defendant's attorney said that the order was ambiguous due process requires clarity in orders prohibiting conduct you cannot have a contempt proceeding is an order is on a clear or ambiguous. the city knew the club was open, the building inspector knew the club was open everyone knew the club was open. if you know your club is open and the court knows that you believe that you could occupy the first... of that club. the operators never asked

and no portion of the building was shut down as it should have been they understood what the corps had commanded yet they acted to willfully violate that order by operating the mezzanine and that is a version of the evidence that are rational jury could use to convict them they left court today without comments their day in court on this case is likely far from over. we spoke to one of the victims of the family as well and even they will tell you that maybe it's time something be done with that building. one of the worst night club stories

in the country we spoke with the family of one of the victims today the grandmother tells me they were able to move on the february 17th will be very very tough. two ladies, two of them ... next month it will be 10 years since that early morning of chaos and a chicago nightclub 21 people died trampled as they rushed to try to get out. hundreds turned out for vigils and memorials piled up but today the sign is down and so are the attributes. that has pretty much stopped suzanne weaver who owns the gallery next door remembers that day vividly and so does mary rodgers. i said

i am just going to cry. i miss her. i still miss her. she was such a present in this house and in this family granddaughter was 21 and had given birth just three weeks earlier that was her first night out with her girlfriend and this was a photograph they all took that night. she got trampled. her kids are now 10 and 13 they still ask about the mother but for all of them the case is over even when it liquors on in the illinois supreme court. the only thing that i cared about the matter how this case goes it doesn't matter. she still occasionally drives by the old club and remembers that morning. the building has a $2.4 million

sales price where it can be leased but no one has been willing to move and if something were to go into that building it would probably kill the story of little bits. i think enough time has passed there has been an attempt to rebuild that area at 23rd and michigan. nothing has panned out even though there was interest to put a gym or a sports bar in there. if you were familiar with that area and has a little historic significance so there might be some restrictions on whether or not you could tear that down those are all questions that folks have. 40 years later it's still an emotional debate activists on both sides of the issue mark the anniversary of roe vs. wade also
